ok what are you trying to do first of all.


Ignition Black/Red Ignition Switch Harness

Ground black but you should ground to some metal on the body or frame There is no schematic for the speaker colors and the car doesn't have a remote wire that's for turning amps on.

I highly recommend you take whatever your doing to a professional before something catches on fire.

Do not cut into your factory wiring. Take it to a pro and let them do it the right way.
